Over half way there!

Not only is the time running away very quickly, but I am actually accomplishing somethings as well.

Nothing is finished but things are progressing.  First of all I sent in my papers for my Visa and I heard back from them as to what I am to do next.  So I am working on all of those and hope to send it off early next week after I accumulate everything I need. Please pray that this next phase of sending forms in will be the last and that my Visa will be approved quickly.

Second,  I have been receiving support and I am happy to report I am over half way there!!! Praise the Lord!  Each time I have been discouraged or worried that I may not be doing enough God has provided the encouragement and support to correct my unbelief and trust Him to provide again.

Third, I have gone through at least half of my stuff making 3 piles: 1)Go to Brazil, 2) Go to my parents (storage) 3) Get rid of (donate or give away).    It is quite a chore for me to get rid of so much, my frugalness and sentimentality get in the way. But, I am enjoying seeing the get rid of piles get bigger and bigger!

Here is my updated calendar for Events leading up to my departure for Brazil:

May 1st - presenting my mission at PLBC during the evening service
May 7th - Going Away party for me at my house (you are all invited!!!)

May 16-23 - Vacation with part of my family to the Grand Canyon
May 25 - Leave MN drive to MA
June 12 - Present at FBC (Fellowship Bible Church) during evening service

Please continue to pray for me as I finalize my plans and prepare for my new ministries in Brazil.  Also, please let me know how I can best pray for you.  Thank you for being a part of my ministry and May God Bless You!
